So This Is Where You Live

(response to Ntozake Shange's 'i live in music'

So this is where you live?
In such an eclectic place
Full of cascades of cadences
And rich in thick, harmonic melodies

Is there room for more here?
Can I live here too with you?
I love the keyboard steps
The constant movement there
In lovely motion
To the command of percussion and strings
Become a muse of music
I have never met any like you
Who give up the beauty of this earth
To reside here
In music
